My iphone 4 switches off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time

My iphone 4 turns off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time. Can anyone help

Hey bigstu29,
Thanks for the question. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
- Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
- Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
- Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
- After at least 15 minutes, if:
               - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
               - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
               - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
- If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
               - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
               - If the display remains black, go to next step.
- Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
- If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Device turns off unexpectedly and does not respond

Just got my iPhone yesterday and originally it took over an hour to turn on. I was able to get it on at one point and go through the activation and syncing process. The phone turned off unexpectedly once the next morning and took over an hour to turn back on, only after plugging it into the computer and then unplugging it. Restoring it was not possible. It turned off again and I was able to boot it up withing an hour. Then now it turned off again and I haven't been able to turn it back on for over 5 hours. Help!

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

Hello s0ha1b
If all you get is the Apple logo and it powering off, then the next step is to put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it. If you have a back up, then you can put that on there to once the restore is complete.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

My iphone5c is still under the 1 year warranty, the top button constantly sticks and does not work properly will Apple still replace my phone even though there is a few chips and scratches on the back?

As Peter says above, only an Apple Store genius can advise you.
But to further clarify, you seem to postulate that if Apple helps you, the cure would be a replacement. That is not necessarily true. Let them look at it and advise you what the remedy is. They may offer you nothing (saying it's your fault), or they may offer you a solution (keeping your current iPhone), or possibly a replacement.

Lenovo G550 does not charge properly.

Well, hello everyone.
I have been experiencing a problem with my Lenovo G550 lately. It doesn't charge properly and at most cases, I have to charge it when it's turned off. When I start up my laptop and as soon as I get to the Windows login screen (or not even up to the loading screen), the power LED starts to blink. I log in to see the laptop not charging. I have tried everything you'd usually do such as, turning the laptop off and on after awhile, removing the battery and putting it in after a few minutes or maybe even an hour, check the charger, take the charger in and out of the laptop and even letting the laptop rest for awhile without the charger or battery in. Sometimes even after all that, it seems like it still doesn't charge. Sometimes it does charge when turned on, although, only charges for a few minutes and stops charging. Even when switched off, sometimes, it doesn't charge properly either.
If you know anything that would fix this, a suggestion or if you know why I'm having this problem, please reply to this.
Ah, silly little computer.

I have a friends laptop hoping to fix a common issue (or as I thought) of a broken power adapter socket. Without the battery in place when you plug the ac adapter in you get no lights and when you press the power button nothing happens.
Upon disassembly and also with the use of the internet I found that Lenovo actually has a nice setup where the yellow socket is removable retained by a single screw, with a pigtail and plug for the main board. So I pin tested the plug using an ohm meter and it tested good. Then I reattached the plug to the motherboard and tested it using the ac adapter and got 20V between both blue and black terminals. Then flipped the board over and I got the same results on the pins on the back of the board so power is getting to the solder points. But that is where the trail went cold.
Anyone have any ideas? I won't recommend her to buy a new motherboard at this point of even go to the expense of having it checked out which would exceed the value of this unit.
I am thinking there is a voltage regulator somewhere in between the battery and the mainboard power that might be the cause but that is above my electronic prowess.
One thing I can say is if this is not a simple fix I will guide her to look to another brand for a replacement. I have it stripped down to the mainboard and tempted to reassemble it to see if it really does charge the battery but just doesn't let you know via the charge lamp. I do know it won't run without the battery pack which has a little power left but saving it for now.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve

MacBook Pro does not requiring password every time

My new MacBook Pro (Late 2013 Retina) does not requiring password every time (ver. 10.9.2). It is set to require a password and it does most of the time but it often does not. I have seen some posts of other people having this issue but have not seen any fix?

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.

Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

Battery is charging intermitently and does not charge fully

Hi,
I have a HP Envy Ultrabook and it is less than 5 months old.
Recently I noticed that my ultrabook's battery is not charging a few minutes after I plugged in my AC adapter. Also it does not charge fully.
At times the charging may start again for a few seconds but stopped.
Furthermore, the battery never reach 100% charge capacity but stops at 90+%.
As I cannot remove my battery since this is an ultrabook, please advise.
Thanks.

Hi speed922,

My Iphone 5 has switched off automatically and will not start up again what has happened?!

My Iphone 5 switched itself off lastnight and has still not came back on. I have had the phone on charge so that is not the problem. Is there any suggestions on what the problem is?

Try holding down both home and sleep buttons for at least 10-15 seconds and see if it powers on. If not, it sounds like you may need to get the phone serviced/replaced at Apple Store.

TS4036 my ipad wifi cellular 16 GB 4G switched off inbetween and is not switching on at all. I have tried to restart by using sleep/wake button, but red slider does not appear. I have recharged battery, still no response. what should i do?

My iPad Wi-Fi cellular 16 GB 4G switched off suddenly, even when the battery was 40% available. It is not switching on again, i have tried restarting by using sleep/wake button, but red slider does not appear. I kept it off like it was overnight, in the morning agin recharged it, but still it is not switching on. it is not responding, except when i connect the charger, it gives a blink noise that recharge has started. I removed the SIM and tried restart it but no response, What should i do to restart it please?

Seems to be working again, I haven't done anything though. And the "wifi" led on my laptop is off, which should mean that the interface is down.
This is driving me crazy I don't understand how the all thing works, if anyone has any tips that would be very nice.
Thanks!

My iPhone 3GS keeps on shutting off randomly and does not come back on

Hi
I have had this problem for months now. With this problem anything that I do it can randomly shut of and the only way to get the iPhone back on I'd to plug it into a power source. I have tried restoreing it and resetting it several times and it hasn't worked.
If anyone has a solution or is going through the same problem I would be very grateful for a response. :)
Thanks,

Hi,
I had a similar problem with iphone 3GS, my battery was not keeping its charge so I decided to replace the battery, not easy!! The new battery seemed to be charging fine and it is fully charged but my phone either switches off as soon as you take it off charge or it only lasts a couple of minutes. Could I have not connected something properly when I replaced the battery or is the battery faulty?
